It's not just smoking and alcohol that are instrumental in increasing the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, working environment too plays a critical role, say researchers.
Researchers have revealed that working environment plays a critical role in increasing the risk of rheumatoid arthritis.
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet have revealed that working environment factors can also increase the odds of developing rheumatoid arthritis."We've uncovered clear correlations between the disease and jobs in which one cannot control one's own situation," said lead researcher Professor Lars Alfredsson, of the Department of Environmental Medicine.
